Enoteca

Enoteca is a restaurant with friendly table service at 262 Carrington Street in the city. It provides a good menu of fine meals and reasonable lunch specials. Enoteca is open for lunch from Wednesday to Friday and for dinner from Wednesday to Saturday. It is also a SALA Festival venue with an exhibition by Megan Anderson shared with the Italian Centre next door. Megan's concept was simply arranging cut-out silhouettes of people on a white background. The artistic concept was decorative like wallpaper but failed to sustain much interest from one work to the next.

The hot chocolate cost $4.50 and came in a tall glass with a handle and a saucer. The drink was finished with a white froth and a sprinkle of chocolate powder. The chocolate flavour was milky and sweet and unfortunately not in the rich Italian tradition.
